The main objective of a familianoon the street was to organize moneymaking ventures and establish a familiano bank andorganizational territories.

    The Nuestra Familia (CAT) System:

    The Nuestra Familia Category (CAT) system was designed and/or developed in order tocategorize each member according to his rank, caliber and educational status. This in turnallows our leadership to keep sort of track on a members educational standings and hisprogress, which will enable each member to be assigned to an individual responsibility or

    to a position with additional responsibilities according to his experience in a wide rangeof areas that coincide with the members knowledge and know- how. All members willstart out as a (CAT I). Member and the highest ranking position is that of a (CAT III).Member. A new recruit is automatically given the ranking of a (CAT). I member.

    CAT I. This member is basically a new member in training, and these new members aretaught the very basic of the Organization and its history, functions and goals. It is at thisfirst stage of Nuestra Familia membership when a member learns the Nuestra FamiliaConstitution, Weaponry skills and enemy identification. A (CAT). I member does notgenerally hold any type of leadership position.

    CAT II. Once a member reaches this advanced phase of membership, he is considered tobe completely knowledgeable of all (CAT I) requirements. (CAT II) Members are givenin depth training in a wide variety of Nuestra Familia areas and in turn are responsible fortraining (CAT I) members.

    CAT III. This is the Nuestra Familias Leadership, and these members are to seasonedsoldados that have the authority to make Organization decisions for all those under theirguidance, according to existing policies and procedures. A (CAT III) member is also

  • 7/27/2019 La Nuestra Famillia

    10/15

    responsible for establishing Organization territories, making sure (CAT II) members areupholding their responsibilities and that they are making sure all Nuestra FamiliaMembers under their guidance are fulfilling their obligations within the Nuestra FamiliaConstitution.

    Along with the CAT system, the new leadership put together an OrganizationalGoverning Body (O.G.B) so that no one member could ever be given sole, completelyand or supreme authority. Under this new leadership, overall authority resided in a threemember board known as La Mesa or La Tabla (The Table). Unlike sosas unlimiteddictatorial authority, the three top ranking Nuestra Familia members(known as O.G.B representative) were voted into their leadership position, receivingequal yet limited authority. They were governed by a set of O.G.B rules and regulationsthat read:

    1.) The Original Governing Body (O.G.B) will govern and oversee all organizationalactivities.

    2.) There shall be no more then three Original Governing Body (O.G.B) members at onetime.

    3.) The three Original Governing Body (O.G.B) members shall be titled as such:

    a.) Speaker and Chief.b.) Leader of the guerreros.c.) Keeper of the armies.

    4.) All members of the Original Governing Body (O.G.B) will respectfully guide the

    directives and honor the will of the people.

    5.) Any member who is considered to be a re-entry shall not be allowed to hold OriginalGoverning Body (O.G.B) responsibilities.

    6.) In order to fulfill any vacancy within the Original Governing Body (O.G.B), allprospective members must rank no lower then that of a (CAT III) member.

    7.) All members who are selected to assume Original Governing Body (O.G.B)responsibilities must have already made the ultimate sacrifice for the Organization andcan have no less then ten (10) years of loyal membership.

    8.) The replacement and or removal of an Original Governing Body (O.G.B) membermust arrive solely from a three fourth (3/4) majority rules vote honored by all (CAT III)members.

    9.) No one Original Governing Body (O.G.B) member has the authority to make anymajor Organizational decisions unless in accordance with at least one other OriginalGoverning Body (O.G.B) member.

    10.) Any and all decisions made by a two-third (2/3) vote of theOriginal Governing Body (O.G.B) shall be final.

    In English, Nuestra Raza (NR) means our race. Its primary purpose and goals are to workfor the betterment of la raza. Mutual respect and social equality for all nortenos. The

    Nuestra Raza a spawned prison gang. It seen as an extension of the Nuestra Familia.Founded in new Folsom state prison, its also known as the northern structure. Itsmembers, like familianos, are considered the hardcore inmates, and the majority areLatinos, who come from violent backgrounds, have lengthy criminal histories and arefrom Northern California. Most Nuestra Raza members and their associated refer to theNuestra Raza as the cause, the struggle and/or the elite circle. The Nuestra Raza membersthemselves are called Nortenos, hermanos (brothers) or Bs. But are most commonlyreferred to as bros. Its insignia is an eagle holding a dagger in its beak with a sombrero inone talon and a book in the other and now the open book is inscribed:

    A lion cannot avoid the cages. As a fox cannot avoid the trap, but if a lion learns to think

    like a fox, he can avoid being trapped

    The Nuestra Familia New Concept:

    Our future behind the walls depending the largely upon each and every one of us asNortenos. The will to leave old attitudes to the past and the will to adopt new and moremeaningful and fulfilling ideas. The determination to fight and challenge all those whomoppose our unity and advancement towards equal justice. Let each of us as Nortenosrecognize the true purpose of our struggle as a close knit raza. Furthermore, let us also bethe enlightenment and inspiration of others behind the walls that stand victims to theprejudice and the abuse of the misused authority within the penal system. Advancement

    demands change. It is each Nortenos responsibility to promote unity amongst our kind aswell as any other raza in need of our guidance, assistance or our moral support. A truebeliever of our struggle is to be treated with dignity and respect on all levels. The truepurpose and goals of a Norteno behind the walls is to establish a strong positive attitudefor himself as well as for the raza and any other minorities in such need. It is apparentthat within a Notenos struggle for better educational opportunities, social respect, andequality, their exist those who are of the same heritage and background who for their ownselfish reasons create obstacles and work alongside of other group segment that arecontrary o the peoples struggle. These degenerates are known as vendidos, who thriveupon their own peoples hard work, sweat, and blood. Within our struggle there is noroom whatsoever for the vendidos of their kind. Those who seek to destroy andundermine our razas efforts to rise above their standards of living have through their ownactions made it possible for us and others groups like us to come together, henceforthpresenting a strong united front. It is urgent that a Norteno understands his duties andresponsibilities and at the same time asserts and anticipates the many sacrifices we willall come to endure at one time or another. Many of us will make it to the streets, andsome will eventually return, while others will not make it for a very long time and stillothers will never make it beyond these walls. However, while we are on the inside, wemust establish a strong foothold in the pinta for all of those who will remain and those

Our foremost and ultimate goal is to eventually establish a strong frontin all the pintas where one is able to do his time and enjoy all the advantages andprivileges that makes existence behind the walls a more bearable one, while at the sametime, expanding ones area of need such as education, vacation and other necessitiesessential to our future accomplishments. Once firmly established in the pinta, our

    struggles will gradually expand into the streets. The struggle on the streets will of coursebe on a much greater scale and will basically follow the same concept of La NuestraRaza. To fully succeed in our cause, the investment if hard work and time will be much.There will be stumbling blocks in the midst of our paths, but through this we shall allowour set backs to serve us as experience, and this experience will be the spirit that puts thefire in our hearts and minds for our future accomplishments and victories. To fullyaccomplish our set goals and objectives, all Nortenos must function on the same level ofawareness and discipline. This involves the following of the 14 bonds of Nuestra Razarules and regulations adopted for all Nortenos, as all fronts must function on the samelevel.
